Curious any chance the thor will see a buff? Adding even the G version might make it better

SSRMs are worthless in MWO. Press that R key and they go away anyway because you just range them. SSRMs are not even missiles, they are fuzzy dice rolls because PGI essentially gave up on trying to balance them as missiles. You may see missiles, but the game just rolls a random 14-16% chance for what section takes damage except the head. This ensures that on average the damage is applied to every section, except the head which is immune. So basically any other weapon is better, even a small laser. SSRMs are too easy to counter, unless of course one doesn't even try.

And this thread is the current Summoner thread, not necro'd, PGI just has never done anything. I am not sure anyone would buy the Summoner if they did. However, since the Summoner will always be limited in weapons due to low payload, heatsinks, hardpoints and 5 useless HOVER-JETS....... PGI should grant it bonus armor and structure. Just pretend it's an Inner Sphere mech needing some quirks like the Dragon.

considering the point of the OP is just as valid now as when I penned it, there are worse necrotraps to be snared in.

It's just not FotM like PSR or the new Group MM.

I see very few Streak loadouts. I see more poptarts; but they are a rare breed period.


Keep posting, because these sad mechs need attention.

BAM.

The Father of the Wubshee has spoken. All listen and give him an "AMEN"!

(Though my "Free Endo 4 the Poor" is probably a more comprehensive and more important one to push...I stopped promoting this one as it kind of fit into the other)

If it's current, it's not necro'd. And where do you see Summoners? I have seen one Summoner back in September and it did not carry SSRMs.

SSRMs are junk, as soon as I see a mech has SSRMs I just evade and range it. What good are they? Maybe just hang out and when your teammates have killed and wrecked everything run out and try to K/S. Any heavy or assault with good armor will eat you for a lite dessert. The cherry on top.

I see only that but in fact i see only same pilots still driving summoners streakoners,
This mechs need attention yea but lots of mechs need, whatever PGI don't read all topics and if they read it they obviously don't try to listen or change anything right.

It's a necro topic sorry if i fall into and reactivated it ( its VortexD primary fault )

I dont care i didn't apologize for ya indeed.

I used to think the Summoner was total balls

but I have been doing very well in it, and I have decided I love the mobility. This is not that bad a mech at all


I know it can't spam 7 laser alphas like the nublets need for it to meet the requirement of a "good mech"

requires some ability to pilot well beyond "map left click to all weapons"

[CDLord HHGD]

I ran my SMN with MLas and LRMs and got some very good results. OFC that was before the laservomit meta and me being a T3 scrub who doesn't run meta of any flavor (unless the mech has nothing but one type of HP (crab/blacknight/top dog) but even then I have AMS, different energy weaps, and empty hardpoints).

[SgtMagor]

think I mentioned many moons ago, that mechs with fixed jump jets should get a performance boost, more fuel, thrust, and recycle faster, than pod mounted ones!.

yeah, I pushed for that, too...got no traction. But a lot of butthurt. How odd, that something engineered to jump would do it more efficiently than something with Jato rockets taped to it's butt!

Summoner's are good mechs. Its the players who dont know how to use em. L2P.

I take it your one of those players who doesnt know how to use 5 JJ's on a heavy. Typical.

huh...cept I can take 5 on a timberwolf and still be objectively better. Go figure. Or ECM on a Hellbie. Or insanely high hardpoints on a Jag.
